Protected insect species in Italy: occurrence data from a 10-year citizen science initiative
The present paper describes the data collected during the first citizenscience project on protected insect species in Italy. The dataset contains occurrence records of 31 taxa observed all over Italian national territory in 10 years for a total of 5,975 records. The aim of the project was to increase the knowledge, to document the distribution of the target taxa and to provide valuable data useful for the reporting of these insects as required by Articles 11 and 17 of the Habitats Directive.
